The l mted States Navy Depart¬
ment. has just started on a new
system of identification for the
sailors of the service, The “scar
system” has been in use for a
number of years, and has worked
very well. The recruits were all
identified by scars and moles Oil
1 he body, and it was found to be a
remarkable fact that the scars of
no two men ever coincided. But
the army has gone in for finger
prin' identification after the Ber
tillion method, and it has been
found so much easier and more ef
fee tire that the navy is going to
adept it «
as well.
A FRIEND INDEED.
At Cherokee Springs, S. C. there
lived, until last week, a real Dene
factor of his community, His
name was J. H. Oliver. Some of
his fortune was inherited, the
remainder was secured by judicioti s
investments.
Bnt, how was he a b°nefactor?
It was this way. He was kind at
heart, and generous and helpful
with his money. No man, who
had any of the elements cf honesty
and goo^l intention about him was
ever denied a favor by J. II. Oliver,
He has endorsed more notes, stood
security for more supplies for his
neighbors than any man in that
section of the State. When cot
ton was at a low paico, and very
few farmers could borrow money,
he helped to redeem his section by
standing security while his neigh¬
bors obtained the money. By bor¬
rowing and paying cash, t|iey were
enabled to get on their feet. And
he helped to educate and uplift a
number of ambitious boys and
girls in the community. The edi¬
tor of the Enterprise has a grate¬
ful remembrance of Mr. Oliver’s
treatment in the most trying hour
of our life. He took great pride
in watching the careers of those
he had helped. Nothing seemed
to give him more intense satisfac¬
tion than to see them succeed, and
nothing pained him more than to
see a young man he had helped
and encouraged throw himself
away. He was not- an old man
when he died, but he lived to see
his community revolutionized in
agriculture and education, and his
neighbors independent, and a score
of young men succeeding in busi¬
ness he had helped to established.
He lived a quiet, simple life.
He was unostentatious in his work.
He believed in the simplicity of
religion. No higher criticism or
religious cult had any charm for
him. He was content to live the
simple life, believed in the simple
gospel. While he belonged to the
Methodist denomination, his toler¬
ation was unlimited, He had no
hnrsh words for any doctrine or
anybody.
PERSISTENCY: A VIRTUE.
Who in all the world ever ac¬
complished anything or obtained
anything really worth having with¬
out a considerable effort and an
abundance of persistency? No
one except those that had it left
to them by some one who had
themselves toiled, labored and
persisted.
Those that lake things and life
generally as they see it—move a
long the lines of least resistence,
make no effort to progress or be
other than a mere human atom—
just simply one among thousands
of others just like the “Simple
Simoi.” never excite other than
pity and indulgence—they are,
however, the ones liked—they
are most times liked because they
do not resist, contradict or pro¬
voke—they have no ideas of be¬
liefs—and if they had, would not
have the courage of their convic¬
tions.
It is the person with grit and
beliefs and ideas that progress,
grow and live—live with the ad
miration and respect of the world
and when they die a name is left
posterity that will bo honored.
This class of men persist. They
keep everlasting at any given line
of effort—today’s knocks aud set
backs only spur them- on to re¬
newed and greater effort and ac
i tion.
Take the merchant. If he is a
groat big fellow, figuratively speak
ing, a great big concern’s owner,
j he sticks to the ship—and usually
the ship with that kind of a cap- i
tain reaches the port of success
with all the sails spread to the
breeze.
People who do not buy today of
j store may need the articles ad¬
vertised next day, next week or
next month. The spasmodic ad

WHY NOT MAKE IT
GENERAL.
___
From present indications there
will be a score or more of local
bills introduced in the coming
legislature to forhid the importa¬
tion of whisky into dry counties
The bills will lie on the same prin¬
ciple as what is known as the
Lawerenceville act.
It seems to us that the Legisla¬
ture would do a wise thing to
make the law general instead of
having Leal bills throughout the
State.
Pass a general law forbiding the
importation of whisky into dry
counties.
The people in the dry counties
have spoken by their ballots and
testified that they do not want
whisky.
It is right that Atlanta dealers
should not be allowed to trespass.
Congress will take care of the
other states that ship the stuff.
, Already there is a bill in Con¬
gress which purports to curtail the
shipping of liquor from one state
to another.
Gentlemen or' t he assembly, face
the issue, and vjte straight from
the shoulder. All these notices
of local legislation on the whiskey
question are indicative of the sen¬
timent of the people of the stute.
Their wishes should be respected.
SENATOR J.T. MORGAN.
i
When Senator Morgan of Ala¬
bama died the other day, the South
lost a staunch advocate, Alabama
a beloved son, and the United
States a patriotic and broad-mind¬
ed statesman.
He was the ideal senator. He
voted his convictins and always
spoke and advocated what he
thought was for the best interest
of the whole country. He was a
firm and steadfast believer in the
principles of State’s rights, ana
last winter where the railroad rate
bill was passed, he and his col¬
league alone opposed it. He fought
long and powerfully for the build¬
ing of an iuter-ocean canal. His
preference was for the Nicaraugan
route, and his speeches on that
subject would fill several large
volumes. He died believing and
maintaining that the Nicaraugan
route was preferable to the Panama
route. As to the correctness of
his conclusions, time only will
reveal.
Perhaps the greatest work li£
did. in the Senate, ai d the work
appreciated more by Southerners,
was his defeat of the iniquitous
force bill.
Senator Morgan was a gallant
soldier, a conscientious and untir¬
ing statesman and a broad minded
and patriotic gentleman. His kind
are fast passing away.
USE A LITTLE MORE CHARI¬
TY TOWARDS RAILROADS.
At present the tendency of the
press and politicians is toward a
wholesale abase of the railroads.
T hey don’t seem to see any good
in anything or policy the roads in¬
augurate. \\ e admit that the roads
have exceeded their authority in
some instances, but on the whole
they seem to endeavor to faithful¬
ly perforin every obligation impos¬
ed upon them by the State. Only
the other day we heard a gentleman
state that the railroads’did not give
in their property at its full value,
No, and neither do nine-tenths of
the other tax-payers in Georgia.
The ra'lroads are the developers
of Georgia, and in our madness
let s not kill the goose that lays
the golden egg. Regulate them,
but do it in a business like and
legal way, and don’t heap abuse
and criticism and “cuss ’em ’out”
in general.
i he Georgia poacji crop is being
marketed. The crop is said to be
8,500 cars short this season.

THE ENTERPRISE COVINGTON Ga
Is the woman who wastes her
life in society, playing Bridge,
dancing, and other frivolous
any better than a
young man who leads an empty
life of idleness? We subnut that
we cannot see any material differ
and know no reason why self
respect shouldn’t require a woman
to be useful as well as a man. A
woman lias fully as important work
as a man to perform and if she
wants to preserve her self-respect
she must get busy at something
usetul. Fortunately for our race
there are only a few of the worth¬
less frivolous kind to whom we
refer. Amusements are all well
enough at times, but to make a
life work of frolic is degrading to
woman- kind —Cordele Rambler.
Yes, perhaps so, but isn’t it the
least bit audacious in a mere man
to say so? Editor Shipp certainly
has the nerve, says the Fitzgerald
Enterprise.
A Good Name.

And advertised his goods,
Till in a dozen years or more

Of comfortable size,
As do the great majority
Of men who advertise.
Now, when a man has made his
wad,
He buys a horse or two,
Or three, or four, and tries them
out
To see what they can do.
Sam had a dozen, but on one
He set his heart and pile.
And trained him for the County
Race
To do the fastest mile.
Sam called Him 4 4 Advertising,”
